Pasadena Police Department cuts redaction time from 2 weeks to a few days with Veritone

The Pasadena Police Department, facing a surge in public records requests due to California's SB-1421, struggled with a manual video redaction process that was extremely time-consuming. Using their previous software, it took approximately 10 hours over two weeks to redact a single two-hour video. The department needed a solution to improve efficiency and meet legal deadlines, leading them to partner with vendor Veritone and its Veritone Redact product.

Veritone implemented its AI-powered Veritone Redact solution, which automates the detection of sensitive information like faces and license plates and provides AI-based transcription for rapid keyword searching. This allowed officers to redact PII much faster. As a result, the Pasadena Police Department slashed its redaction time from two weeks down to just a few days, saving thousands of dollars by avoiding costly outsourcing and significantly improving workflow productivity.
